Azure IoT Edge Dev Tool
The Azure IoT Edge Dev Tool greatly simplifies Azure IoT Edge development down to simple CLI commands driven by Environment Variables.
- It gets you started with IoT Edge development with the IoT Edge Dev Container and IoT Edge Solution Scaffolding that contains a sample module and all the required configuration files.
- It speeds up your inner-loop dev (dev, debug, test) by reducing multi-step build & deploy processes into one-line CLI commands and well as drive your outer-loop CI/CD pipeline. You can use all the same commands in both stages of your development life-cycle.
Quickstart
Here is the absolute fastest way to get started with IoT Edge Dev. This quickstart will run a container, create a solution, setup Azure resources, build and deploy modules to your device, setup and start the Edge Runtime and then monitor messages flowing into IoT Hub.
The only thing you need to install is Docker. All of the other dev dependencies are included in the container.
-
Install Docker
-
Run the Azure IoT Edge Dev Container
docker run -ti -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock jongallant/iotedgedev
-
Initialize Edge Solution and Setup Azure Resources
iotedgedev init
-
Build IoT Edge Modules
iotedgedev build
You can also combine build and deploy with
iotedgedev build --deploy
-
Deploy Modules to IoT Edge Device
iotedgedev deploy
-
Start the IoT Edge Runtime
iotedgedev start
-
Monitor Messages sent from IoT Edge to IoT Hub
iotedgedev monitor
Overview
The Azure IoT Edge Dev Tool enables you to do all of the following with simple one-line CLI commands.
-
Start Container: Install the Azure IoT Edge Dev Tool:
docker run -it -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v c:/temp/iotedge:/iotedge jongallant/iotedgedev
This container includes all of the dependencies you need for IoT Edge development, including:
You can also directly install the tool with: `pip install azure-iot-edge-dev-tool`
-
Create Solution: Create a new IoT Edge Solution that includes a sample module and all the the required configuration files.
iotedgedev solution edgesolution1
cd edgesolution1
-
Setup Azure: Creates or selects your Azure IoT Hub and Edge Device and updates your Environment Variables.
iotedgedev azure
This must be run from the root of your solution, so make sure you cd into the
edgesolution1
folder before you run this command. -
Build & Deploy: Build, Push and Deploy modules:
iotedgedev build --deploy
This will
dotnet build
,publish
,docker build, tag and push
anddeploy modules
to your IoT Edge device.If your module is not dotnet, then the dotnet build/publish steps will be skipped.
-
Setup & Start: Setup and Start the IoT Edge Runtime:
iotedgedev start
-
View Messages: View Messages Sent from IoT Edge to IoT Hub:
iotedgedev monitor
-
View Logs: View and Save Docker log files:

Azure IoT Edge Dev Tool in 2 Minutes
Azure IoT Edge Dev Tool: Introduction
Azure IoT Edge Dev Tool with Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
Setup
Azure Setup
Automated Setup
The following will show you how to setup your Azure Resources via the CLI instead of using the Portal.
First, create a solution with the following command:
iotedgedev solution edgesolution1
Then, cd into that solution:
cd edgesolution
Then, run the iotedgedev azure
command to setup your Azure Resources. This command will bring you through a series of prompts to create Azure Resources and retrieve your IoT Hub and Edge Device connection strings and save them to the .env
file in the root of the project. All subsequent commands will use those environment variables.
Here are all the azure
command options:
You can override all of these parameters with environment variables. Please see the .env file in your solution for details.
iotedgedev azure
--credentials USERNAME PASSWORD
--service-principal USERNAME PASSWORD TENANT
--subscription THE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID
--resource-group-location THE_RG_LOCATION
--resource-group-name THE_RG_NAME
--iothub-sku THE_IOT_SKU
--iothub-name THE_IOT_NAME
--edge-device-id THE_EDGE_DEVICE_NAME
--update-dotenv
You can use the following az cli
command to create a service principal:
az ad sp create-for-rbac -n "iotedgedev01"
Note: Running
iotedgedev azure
without any other parameters will save you time from looking up the required parameter values. The command will help you choose the parameters in an interactive way.
Alternatively, you can deploy the IoT Hub and Container Registry with this Deploy to Azure template:
Note: If you do not need a Container Registry, or are planning to use a local registry, then you should run the iotedgedev azure command instead of running this Deploy to Azure template, because the template includes a Container Registry.
Manual Setup
-
Create Edge Device using the Azure Portal
- In your IoT Hub, click "IoT Edge", then click "Add IoT Edge Device"
-
Container Registry When you develop for IoT Edge, you need to host your images in a container registry, which the IoT Edge runtime will fetch the images from when it starts.
By default, the IoT Edge Dev Tool, will use the Local Registry.
We have tested the following options, but you can host your images on any Docker compatible registry host.
-
Local Registry
Set CONTAINER_REGISTRY_SERVER to localhost:5000 and leave CONTAINER_REGISTRY_USERNAME/CONTAINER_REGISTRY_PASSWORD blank.
CONTAINER_REGISTRY_SERVER="localhost:5000"
-
Azure Container Registry
You can create an Azure Container Registry and host your images there. - Make sure you enable Admin Access when you create the Azure Container Registry
After created, open .env and set the following:
CONTAINER_REGISTRY_SERVER="ACR URI" CONTAINER_REGISTRY_USERNAME="ACR USERNAME" CONTAINER_REGISTRY_PASSWORD="ACR PASSWORD"
Example:
CONTAINER_REGISTRY_SERVER="jong.azurecr.io" CONTAINER_REGISTRY_USERNAME="jong" CONTAINER_REGISTRY_PASSWORD="p@$$w0rd"
-
Docker Hub
You can also host your images on Docker Hub. Create a Docker Hub account and then open .env and enter the following:
CONTAINER_REGISTRY_SERVER="DOCKER HUB USERNAME" CONTAINER_REGISTRY_USERNAME="DOCKER HUB USERNAME" CONTAINER_REGISTRY_PASSWORD="DOCKER HUB PASSWORD"
Example:
CONTAINER_REGISTRY_SERVER="jongallant" CONTAINER_REGISTRY_USERNAME="jongallant" CONTAINER_REGISTRY_PASSWORD="p@$$w0rd"
-
Dev Machine Setup
Here's what you need to do to get Azure IoT Edge Dev Tool (aka iotedgedev
) running on your dev machine. If you are using a separate Edge device, like a Raspberry Pi, you do not need to run all of these steps on your IoT Edge device, you can just use iotedgectl
directly on the device. See the IoT Edge Device Setup section below for more information on setting up your Edge device.
Note: See the "Test Coverage" section below to see what the Edge Dev Tool has been tested with.
IoT Edge Dev Tool Container
You can use the IoT Edge Dev Tool container to avoid having to install all the dependencies on your local dev machine.
(Only runs on Linux Containers at this time. Windows Container support coming soon.)
-
Install Docker
-
Create Local Folder on Host Dev Machine that will contain your IoT Edge Solutions.
c:/temp/iotedge
This allows you to use VS Code on your host machine and run all the
iotedgedev
commands in your container. We'll mount this folder to the container in the next step. -
Start Container:
docker run -it -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v c:/temp/iotedge:/iotedge jongallant/iotedgedev
-
Change to the
/iotedge
directory:cd /iotedge
-
Skip all the install steps below and jump to the Usage section below.
Local Dev Machine Setup
You don't need to do this if you are running the container as described in the previous step.
-
Install Docker
-
Windows
- Switch to Linux Containers if you are running Windows.
-
Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
Here's a video that shows you how to setup WSL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5ZtTmHgs_8
-
Do not install Docker in WSL, you can use Docker on your Windows machine by modifying the path.
-
In Docker Settings/General, Check "Expose Daemon on tcp:// without TLS"
-
Execute the following in a Bash terminal. This will make
docker
available in your Bash terminal.echo "PATH=\"$PATH:$HOME/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:/mnt/c/Program\ Files/Docker/Docker/resources/bin\"" >> ~/.bashrc echo "alias docker=docker.exe" >> ~/.bashrc echo "alias docker-machine=docker-machine.exe" >> ~/.bashrc echo "alias docker-compose=docker-compose.exe" >> ~/.bashrc echo "export DOCKER_HOST='tcp://localhost:2375'" >> ~/.bashrc source ~/.bashrc sudo sh -c "echo Defaults env_keep += \"DOCKER_HOST\" >> /etc/sudoers.d/docker"
-
-
Linux
- We've seen some issues with docker.io. If Edge doesn't run for you, then try installing Docker CE directly instead of via docker.io. Use the CE install steps, or use the convenience script.
-
-
Install Python 2.7+ or Python 3.6+
- Windows - Install from Python's website
- Linux -
sudo apt install python-pip
orsudo apt install python3-pip
-
Install .NET Core SDK
- The .NET Core SDK does not run on ARM, so you do not need to install this on Raspberry Pi.
-
Install Azure CLI 2.0
-
Install Azure CLI IoT Extension
az extension add --name azure-cli-iot-ext
-
Install System Dependencies
You can also run under a Python Virtual Environment. See the Python Virtual Environment Setup instructions below for details on how to set that up.
- System Dependencies
-
Mac:
sudo easy_install pip brew install libffi
-
Raspberry Pi:
sudo pip install --upgrade setuptools pip sudo apt install python2.7-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev -y
-
- System Dependencies
-
Install IoTHub-Explorer
Currently, the only way to view IoT Hub Messages via CLI is with the
iothub-explorer
npm package. You need to install Node.js and then install theiothub-explorer
package with the following command:npm i -g iothub-explorer
You can also use Device Explorer as well, but it is Windows only. The Azure IoT team is working on porting the monitor-events functionality to the official az iot CLI - but for now we'll use the npm package.
-
Install
azure-iot-edge-dev-tool
You do not need to run this on the IoT Edge device. See the IoT Edge Device Setup section below for more information on setting up your IoT Edge device.
pip install azure-iot-edge-dev-tool
Usage
Here's how you create a solution, build and deploy modules, and then setup and start the Edge runtime.
Step 1: Create Azure IoT Edge Solution
The following command will setup the folder structure required for this module
Replace
edgesolution1
with the name of your solution. Use.
to create in the current folder.
iotedgedev solution edgesolution1
cd edgesolution1
Folder Structure
When you create a new solution, it will have the following contents:
-
modules folders - Contains all of the modules for your IoT Edge Solution.
- The iotedgedev module assumes that you'll structure your Dockerfiles exactly like the filtermodule sample. Have a Docker folder in the root of the solution, then subfolders within that to support multiple Docker files.
It is important that you follow this structure or the module will not work. Please make suggestions or fork this solution if you would like a different behavior.
-
.env - Contains all the required Environment Variables for your IoT Edge Solution.
-
.gitignore - A .gitignore file for your IoT Edge Solution.
-
Configuration File Templates - There are two files in the root of the solution:
deployment.template.json
- Contains the config that is deployed to your IoT Edge device. It contains references to your modules, module routes and desired property information.runtime.template.json
- Contains the config used by your IoT Edge runtime. It contains your device connection string, your container registry settings and is used when you call theiotedgedev setup
oriotedgedev start
commands.
-
.config folder - All expanded config files are copied to this folder and these files are used at runtime.
-
logs folder - Contains all the Docker log files for the Runtime and your modules.
Step 2: Update Environment Variables
The settings used for this module are stored in a .env file in the root of your solution. System or User Environment Variables take precedence over values in .env file.
-
Open
.env
and set variablesYou only need to set the
IOTHUB_CONNECTION_STRING
ANDDEVICE_CONNNECTION_STRING
settings, which you can get from the Azure Portal.IOTHUB_CONNECTION_STRING="" DEVICE_CONNECTION_STRING=""
You can use the
DOTENV_FILE
Environment Variable to point to a different .env file, such as .env.integration or .env.test. This is helpful in CI/CD pipeline scenarios where you'll want to target different environments and devices to ensure all scenarios are tested.This tool offers a wizard-like command to guide you through setting up Azure and also setting up the Environment Variables properly.
iotedgedev azure
Step 3: Build and Deploy Modules
Use
sudo
for Linux. You will not be able to build on the Raspberry Pi, because the .NET Core SDK does not support ARM. You can build on an x86 based machine and deploy to Pi.
iotedgedev build --deploy
The- build
command will build each module in the modules
folder and push it to your container registry. The- --deploy
command will apply the generated .config/deployment.json
configuration file to your IoT Edge device. You could also call deploy
directly with iotedgedev deploy
.
You can configure what modules will be built and deployed by using the ACTIVE_MODULES
env var in the .env
file. You can configure which Dockerfiles get built and deployed by using the ACTIVE_DOCKER_DIRS
env var.
Step 4: Setup and Start the IoT Edge Runtime
Use 'sudo' for Linux/RaspberryPi
iotedgedev start
The start
command will apply the /.config/runtime.json
file to your IoT Edge device and will start the IoT Edge runtime. You can also call iotedgedev setup
and iotedgedev start
independently.
Step 5: Monitor Messages
iotedgedev monitor
This will print messages sent from the device specified in DEVICE_CONNECTION_STRING. To use this command, you first need to install the iothub-explorer npm package with the following command:
npm i -g iothub-explorer
NOTE: iothub-explorer is included in the IoT Edge Dev Tool Container
Step 6: Create a new Module
After you have everything running from the IoT Edge Tool solution template, the next step is to develop all the custom modules you need for your scenario. Here's how you do that:
Note that as of 2/9, the public version of this module template is not yet aligned with the Edge Dev Tool. At this point you are better off creating a copy of the
filtermodule
module and renaming it to mymodule. The dotnet module template will be updated soon.
-
Install the .NET Core Module Template
This is the same template I used to create the filtermodule. It includes a sample C# module project and Docker files.
dotnet new -i Microsoft.Azure.IoT.Edge.Module
-
Create a new Module
From the root of your solution:
dotnet new aziotedgemodule -o modules/mymodule
Now, when you run
iotedgedev build
you will see thatmymodule
is also built and pushed to your container registry. -
Add Message Property
We are going to add a new custom property to the message as it is flowing through the system so we can see that our module is working.
- Open
/modules/mymodule/Program.cs
. - Add the following line right above the
SendEventAsync
call.
pipeMessage.Properties.Add("abc", "123"); await deviceClient.SendEventAsync("output1", pipeMessage);
- Open
-
Add Module to Config
- Open
deployment.template.json
. - Copy and paste the filtermodule section and change filtermodule to mymodule.
"mymodule": { "version": "1.0", "type": "docker", "status": "running", "restartPolicy": "always", "settings": { "image": "${CONTAINER_REGISTRY_SERVER}/mymodule:0.0.1-amd64", "createOptions": "" } }
Make sure you change it in two places, the name and the
settings.image
property. - Open
-
Add Route to Config
By default, your new module acts as a simple pass through. It receives messages and passes them to the output. We will add
mymodule
in between our existingsensor
andfilter
modules.- Open
deployment.template.json
- Replace
$edgeHub.properties.desired.routes
with the following:
"routes": { "sensorToMyModule": "FROM /messages/modules/temp-sensor-module/outputs/temperatureOutput INTO BrokeredEndpoint(\"/modules/mymodule/inputs/input1\")", "myModuleToFilter": "FROM /messages/modules/mymodule/outputs/output1 INTO BrokeredEndpoint(\"/modules/filtermodule/inputs/input1\")", "filterToIoTHub": "FROM /messages/modules/filtermodule/outputs/output1 INTO $upstream" },
- Open
-
Build and Deploy Modules
Now that we have the module created, code added, and config updated, we are going to rebuild, deploy our module.
You will notice that the IoT Edge Runtime automatically detects a new deployment, retrieves the new module, applies the new route and keeps sending messages.
iotedgedev build --deploy
-
Monitor Messages
Now when we view the messages flowing through the system, we'll see an additional 'abc' property:
iotedgedev monitor
"machine": { "temperature": 102.97201423520322, "pressure": 10.338583900213024 }, "ambient": { "temperature": 20.577302686906094, "humidity": 26 }, "timeCreated": "2017-12-31T15:15:13.8580843Z" } ---- application properties ---- { "abc": "123", "MessageType": "Alert" }
That's all there is to it. You can now get started implementing your IoT Edge scenario!

Setup Container Registry
You can also use iotedgedev
to host the IoT Edge runtime from your own Azure Container Registry or a Local Container Registry. Set the .env
values for your Container Registry and run the following command. It will pull all the IoT Edge containers from Dockerhub, tag them and upload them to the container registry you have specified in .env
.
Use 'sudo' for Linux/RaspberryPi
iotedgedev docker --setup-registry
View Docker Logs
Show Logs
The iotedgedev module also include a "Show Logs" command that will open a new command prompt for each module it finds in your IoT Edge config. Just run the following command:
Note: I haven't figured out how to launch new SSH windows in a reliable way. It's in the backlog. For now, you must be on the desktop of the machine to run this command.
iotedgedev docker --show-logs
You can configure the logs command in the .env
file with the LOGS_CMD
setting. The .env
file provides two options, one for ConEmu and one for Cmd.exe.
Save Logs
You can also output the logs to the LOGS_PATH directory. The following command will output all the logs and add them to an edge-logs.zip
file that you can send to the Azure IoT support team if they request it.
iotedgedev docker --save-logs
Both Show and Save Logs
Run the following to show and save logs with a single command
iotedgedev docker --logs
Local Docker Registry Setup
Instead of using a cloud based container registry, you can use a local Docker registry. Here's how to get it setup.
- Set
CONTAINER_REGISTRY_SERVER
in .env tolocalhost:5000
. You can enter a different port if you'd like to. - Add
localhost:5000
and127.0.0.1:5000
to Docker -> Settings -> Daemon -> Insecure Registries
In the latest
iotedgedev
build, step 2 above hasn't been required. But, if you run into issues, you may want to try adding those Insecure Registries.
iotedgedev
will look for localhost
in your setting and take care of the rest for you.
IoT Edge Device Setup
The iotedgedev
module is intended to help with IoT Edge development and doesn't necessarily need to be taken on as a dependency in production or integration environments, where you'll likely want to use the iotedgectl
module directly. You can use iotedgedev
to generate your runtime.json file on your dev machine, copy that to your IoT Edge device and then use the following command to setup and start your IoT Edge Runtime.
iotedgectl setup --config-file runtime.json
iotedgectl start
Having said that, there's nothing stopping you from deploying iotedgedev
to your IoT Edge device. It may be helpful if you want to run the iotedgedev docker --clean
command to clean up Docker containers and images. Or if you want to run iotedgedev docker --show-logs
to see all the log files on the device or iotedgedev docker --save-logs
to output to the LOGS_PATH directory.
Please note that the .NET Core SDK does not support ARM, so you will not be able to run
build
directly on a Raspberry Pi.
Raspberry Pi
Whether you use iotedgedev
or directly use iotedgecgtl
on the Raspberry Pi, you will still need to run the following commands before you run the IoT Edge Runtime.
```
sudo pip install --upgrade setuptools pip
sudo apt install python2.7-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev -y
sudo pip install -U azure-iot-edge-dev-tool
```
Config Changes
If you are running on Raspberry Pi you need to use the arm32v7 Dockerfile. Open `deployment.template.json`, find the `filtermodule` line and replace `amd64` with `arm32v7`.
Replace this:
`"image": "${CONTAINER_REGISTRY_SERVER}/filtermodule:0.0.1-amd64",`
With this:
`"image": "${CONTAINER_REGISTRY_SERVER}/filtermodule:0.0.1-arm32v7",`
Environment Variable Change
Open your .env file and add arm32v7 to your ACTIVE_DOCKER_ARCH setting. This will tell the IoT Edge Dev Tool to also build the arm32v7 images.
`ACTIVE_DOCKER_ARCH="amd64,arm32v7"`
Python Virtual Environment Setup
You can run iotedgedev
inside a Python Vritual Environment.
-
Install virtualenv
pip install virtualenv
-
Create virtualenv
Execute the following from the root of this repository.
virtualenv venv
venv is just a env name that can be anything you want, but we recommend sticking with venv because the .gitignore file excludes it.
-
Activate the virtualenv
Windows:
venv\Scripts\activate.bat
Posix:
source venv/bin/activate
-
Install Dependencies
Continue with the instructions above starting with the Dev Machine Setup -> Install Dependencies.
-
Deactivate the virtualenv
When you are done with your virtualenv, you can deactivate it with the follow command:
deactivate
Test Coverage
This module has been tested with the following:
- Windows 10 Fall Creators Update
- Windows Subsystem for Linux, Ubuntu 16.04
- Ubuntu 16.04
- Mac Sierra 10.12.6
- Raspberry Pi with Raspbian Stretch (.NET Core Runtime Only, .NET Core SDK not supported on ARM.) - You cannot use Raspberry Pi as a IoT Edge dev machine, but it can host the IoT Edge runtime.
- Python 2.7.13 and Python 3.6.3
- Docker Version 17.09.1-ce-win42 (14687), Channel: stable, 3176a6a
Troubleshooting
-
Invalid Reference Format
500 Server Error: Internal Server Error for url: http+docker://localunixsocket/v1.30/images 500 Server Error: Internal Server Error ("invalid reference format")
Solution: You likely installed Docker via
sudo apt install docker.io
. Use the proper steps for CE here, or use the convenience script. -
Permissions Error
The directory '/home/user/.cache/pip/http' or its parent directory is not owned by the current user and the cache has been disabled. Please check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag.
Solution: Run pip install with -H
sudo -H pip install -U -r requirements.txt
thensudo -H pip install -U -r requirements_nodeps.txt --no-deps
-
Latest Docker Image Not Pulled from Registry
By design, Docker only pulls images that have been changed. When you are developing you tend to push new images on a frequent basis, which Docker will not pull unless it has a unique tag. You could assign every push a new tag, or you can simply run the following command on the IoT Edge device.
iotedgedev runtime --restart
This stops the runtime, removes your ACTIVE_MODULES containers and images, calls setup and then starts the runtime. Docker will then be forced to pull the imageS from the registry because it does not have them locally anymore.
-
404 Client Error: Not Found ("No such container: edgeAgent")
I occasionally see this when running
iotedgedev runtime --restart
, but I have never seen it cause any issues. LMK if you see any issues because of it. -
('Connection aborted.', error(2, 'No such file or directory'))
This means that you have likely do not have DOCKER_HOST Environment Variable set. If you are running WSL, then please see the Dev Machine Setup steps above. You have to write DOCKER_HOST to your ~/.bashrc file.
ERROR: Could not login to Container Registry. Please verify your credentials in CONTAINER_REGISTRY_ environment variables. If you are using WSL, then please set DOCKER_HOST Environment Variable. See the [Edge Dev Tool readme](https://aka.ms/iotedgedev) for full instructions.
('Connection aborted.', error(2, 'No such file or directory')) ERROR: Could not connect to docker daemon. ERROR: Docker is unavailable CRITICAL: IoT Edge dependency not available: docker
